Murdaugh Murder Trial: Forensic analysis of Paul Murdaugh's injuries WARNING: GRAPHIC content 

Noticed how he's shaking and thinking. As they talk about the gun wound, you know he's remembering every detail of what he did running through his head over and over. Glad he got life in prison

He’s shaking cause he’s reliving their last moments over and over and over again. Those memories will never be erased…

How do you do that to your own child of all people? It's impossible to comprehend. The least that he could do at this point is confess.

Paul's cel phone video is extremely damning. He's reaching out from the grave to nail his killer.

Horrific violence. Glad that Alex had to hear the graphic testimony.

That POS is shaking his head in acceptance because he did it. He accepts that he’s going to rot in jail and hell for this. Guilty on all charges with two consecutive life sentences. Faith in the justice system restored!

How could anyone do this to his own son and wife? What a sick dangerous man.

Paul was not spoiled. He was neglected and given no boundaries. No one cared about him at all. He was the scapegoat in the family. Buster is the golden child .

How many people would claim that they checked for a pulse on a victim who's BRAIN is laying next to his dead body? He never checked either one of their pulses. So glad his Family's POWER didn't afford him a Free Pass, as is usual for these types of Families. Like the Free Pass Alec and his family were "printing up" for Paul's drunken boating accident. It's a way of life for these people who think they can get away with anything. Can't really blame them because they usually do. Thank God Justice had it's Day. This time, anyway.

Paul murdaugh was privileged, spoiled & abusive. He lived his life according to the book of murdaugh and his friends imo loved hanging around with him probably because of all that was available to them & even their own parents knew of the bad rep and control the murdaugh family had and only when the boat crash occurred did they distance themselves from paul & their parents backed them up. I just wonder if his friends would've acted the same way had it been an outsider that was killed in that boat crash rather than one of their own. RIP mallory RIP Gloria, RIP Steven, RIP Maggie & RIP Paul.

Even if you have to end some poor suffering pet, it sucks remembering it. Alex didn't end a suffering poor pet, he ended his young sons life and his wife's as well, not to end suffering, but to benefit his living. What a horrible human soul alex is...

That defense lawyer is such a knob. The more I watch him, the more I think he's just trying to cause confusion and muddy the waters. Just like Alex and Maggie did after the boating accident, stating they "weren't sure" who was driving the boat, even though everyone on the boat knew and said it was Paul. They kept creating confusion about it. This is how these people operate.

The whole family was corrupt. I hope buster changes his life around

I wanna see the pictures!!!

Just from looking at AM's body language when they describe the details just shows how guilty he is. You can tell that he's so disturbed by what he did he can't even hide it. It's very chilling.

This man is so interesting to listen to! I bet he is a fantastic teacher. He is right to the point and explains everything perfectly!

The visual on that column of pellets exiting his jaw is horrific

The way Alex is shaking at the 10:26 mark and the way his attorney is looking at him is haunting.

This is hard to hear about. I'm now mid 30's but When I was 19 my friend shot himself in the head with a 12 gage the hardest funeral I ever had to go to. I remember the pain and crying my eyes out. I just talked to him the day before but he suffered from mental health issues. I'll never forget that call I got that day.

He needs to see what he did to his son and his wife. I hope he gets everything he deserves, as of this writing he has been found guilty.

Buster was the chosen one and Paul was acting out because children know when they are lesser than !!!. Paul resemblance to his mother is obvious and Buster resemblance is exactly like his Father the killer !!!.

“So his brain wasn’t splattered on the floor?” “Well, it depends what you mean by that. His brain left his head.” Yikes. These weapons are vicious. I wonder if the father ever thought twice about the pain his son felt.

The shock and horror of the first shot not taking Paul down, his son who he just shot starring him in the eyes, Paul's pained cries and attempt to get away from him and get to his mother, could have dropped Alex to his knees...where he took the second shot. I hope Maggie hadn't made it to the doorway to see that in real time...

If my murder defense attorney EVER says UMMMMM more than three times in a five minute period, as trump says YOURE FIRED!!

How an addict can become so morally bankrupt as to murder his own family is beyond me. He's probably a psychopath, a sociopath and an extreme narcissist... addiction just medicating what's going on underneath...

He is a mess, think it’s registering as to what he did to his family and his computer is covered. He should be forced to see what he did to them.

For everybody asking why Alex killed Maggie & Paul... it was to garner sympathy/get everybody off his back regarding his financial crimes. I can't remember which involved party it was, but I believe it was his law firm that he had been fired from that were investigating his misdeeds, as soon as the murders happened they immediately ended their investigation of Alex. Maggie was about to divorce him and was going to make even more of a mess for him financially, and Paul was the entire reason that people started investigating Alex's finances due to the family of the girl killed by Paul's drunk driving, they were on the hunt for a fat pay day = even more digging into Alex's greasy financial improprieties.

I’ve heard “blow your brains out” many times in my life. I never understood it like this until now. Complete depravity!!

I’m watching the new Netflix doc just released and honestly it makes everything make so much more sense! Episode 1- The fact that it’s the actual victims of the boat crash being interviewed not just talking heads - makes it very real. The fact that both Alex and Maggie liberally gave Paul and his group of friends liquor, bought it for them, when they were as young as 14 is absolutely mind blowing. It’s bad enough they were giving such young teens who were not their children alcohol without any reservations- it’s just so hard to understand but especially given Alex knew he had been battling a drug addiction for 20 years and yet he basically sets his son up to become a raging alcoholic? Already at 18 Paul was a monster when drinking, vicious and abusive to his girlfriend and had gotten to the point with that abuse that he did it in front of all his friends? One can only imagine how brutal his alcoholism and abusive behavior would have become in a short amount of time. The fact that Paul had already had a bad crash in his truck with Morgan while too drunk to drive- and he AND Alex and Maggie got mad at her because she had called 911, that when Alex and Maggie showed up to the accident scene before anyone else and instead of checking on their son and Morgan they started hiding all the guns he had in the truck? I mean they are sounding more and more as bad as the parents of Ethan Couch - Affluenza teen!! It’s just unbelievably shocking to me these parents acted this way- and I’m no prude… I love a few drinks and I’ve let my 18 year old daughter have 2 Whiteclaws during the Superbowl - but what they did is heinous and honestly- not to speak too ill of the dead- Paul absolutely inevitably would have killed somebody one day drinking and driving and did - * EDIT because of all the folks misreading my comment- I said he DID kill someone…..I am saying based on his irresponsibly drinking and driving, having already crashed his truck while driving drunk with no repercussions he was going to inevitably kill somebody one day and DID….I KNOW he killed Mallory!* or loosing his temper- he was an out of control spoiled brat…. I do feel some sympathy for him given the fact that his mother didn’t pay attention to him!

He’s replaying that night over and over and over again. You can see it in his face.

Heartbreaking

No sir, the two guns they have in the courtroom are NOT the murder weapons, I have watched the entire trial, they are 'like' guns shown for comparison

The fact that the jurists had to view those photographs will stick with them for the rest of their lives.

This stuff bring tears to my eyes

How can "Buster" hear his dad's voice on the audio and, still, not believe he did it unless he is more like his father than anyone believes?

Very troubling case that is impossible to grasp

You occasionally glimpse the hidden rage of Alex. This is a person who was raised to be a monster and who raised another monster. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I hope they sell all his property and the insurance for his wife and son all go to the people he stole from.

GUILTY

They should wallpaper his cell walls with the graphic pictures of his son and wife, and then plexiglass over top of it so it cannot be removed so he can stare at it till the day he dies

The things that the jury and others have to see are traumatizing, and I would need counseling after seeing it !! Not to mention the clean up people !! They should have made Alex Murdaugh clean it up !!

Did anyone else see Alex's tremor at about 8:45 seconds?

Greetings from Wisconsin, Dr. Eisenstat. Thank-you for your excellent testimony. May God Bless and keep you always.

Omg!! Absolutely horrible 😢

Alex lawyers are so out of touch that they could not win this doesn’t matter whom they bring to testify🤮☠️ this was a gruesome scene lord💔

Wow this account of Paul's injury is grim as fuck. Savagery inflicted on your own flesh and blood pun not intended.

But don't you think someone else in AM family would know of the secret hiding places as well? Today his brother John Marvin testified and he smiled and stared at the jury for sympathy. I pray that Paul and Maggie speak from the grave

Why was Pauls brain matters all up and close to the ceiling if he was shot on the top of the head? How could his brain come out of his head in a downward trajectory this dude don’t make sense

He destroyed his chances of acquittal by testifying. As long as we didn't hear HIM say he was telling any lies,there was room for doubt. Once he put himself there at the time that they were killed what did he expect would happen?

The only person in the court room shaking is Alex.

This female lawyer made a fool of herself. She does not know what she's talking about. Trying to pick at things she does not understand. Bad day in court for her. No class

Why cover up moniter for this monster? He did this and should be forced to look at it the rest of his life!!

If the prosecution wants a chance to win this they shouldn’t let her speak again

His reaction during this is as so telling

9:38 Watch Alec ponder & visualize what he did to Paul & see how he shakes contemplating the act he committed and then he "snaps" out of it.Warch the deep sighs & how he clenches the pen. He is clearly upset.

My Nephew got Murdered, brain matter was on the floor...What A Horrific Scene...Blew off his entire head...SUCH A CRIME, SHOULD NO ONE DO, MUST LESS HAVE A IMAGE IN YOUR MIND..OF IT...R.I.P., TO ALL...WHOM HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF SUCH A CRIME...😥🕊️🙏

This expert was good - i didn't get any hint that he favored either side and he just stuck to his opinion based on his training and knowledge. (The woman lawyer raised some good points but dam, that got painful to listen to- his defense is trying so hard to confuse the jury any way they can)

That lawyer looks like he drinks that gallon of moonshine a day he is so red and those eyes are bugged

I guess these defense attorneys were the best AM had to represent him, having alienated all others. These attorneys are terrible.

His brain was taken to autopsy in a bucket is my understanding

He just literally blew his sons brains out . Holy crap . Who could do that to their son ? Evidently Alex could

The little lady in the black is awful at her job...😢

Do they now show the pictures in court anymore?

I am elated that they found AM guilty tonight at 6:45 pm! Paul and Maggie are speaking from the grave! AM didn't know that Paul had recorded that video! Justice is served! I am still very upset they way that John Marvin testified, trying to garner sympathy from the jury, the entire time on the stand, he looked and smiled at them. Today when Judge read charges, John Marvin was shaking his head when the Judge said 'find him innocent' if Prosecution have not proved their case. I think the Prosecution did a WONDERFUL JOB! Especially Creighton Waters! He is my kind of lawyer, he laid all the evidence down. AM thought he could outstmart everyone b/c he was an attorney. I don't know why that family thinks they are above the law! How could a husband and father do that????????????????????? the same should be done to him. His defense team were a bunch of Bozo's grasping for straws! The evidence was overwhelming. Praying for Maggie and paul I think his brothers knew about it all along!

You can tell that Alex is reliving everything by his expression.

His mind was off shaking and remembering what he did...GUILTY!!

15:44 looks disturbed, probably replaying the incident in his mind.

I'm glad the judge said his wife Maggie and Paul will visit Alex every night!! Alex will forever be haunted by them!

I’ll bet Maggie wasn’t even that shocked when the first shots rang out and she was bent over for that shot to go into the top of her head.

That female lawyer didnt listen or was on break. Dumbest cross examination I ever seen..."do the pellets expand and come back together?" OMG THEY BEEN EXPLAING HOW A SHOT GUN BLAST EXPANDS AT A LONGER DISTANCE!!!

After listening to one witness today, he said it is most likely the shooter was injured??/ I remember someone saying that AM had a bruise on his face. They should check this out, My theory is AM called Paul's name and he turned and got the first shot, I think he walked toward AM and tried to grab the muzzle of the rifle and was probably bent over - or AM slipped and then he fires the fatal shot which is consistent with Dr. Reamer's explaination of the fatal shot going in jaw and out the top of his head. I think he especially hated Maggie, thus giving her five shots, WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE GUNS? HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO go back to his Mom's house at a later date and destroy them forever, or perhaps he had Buster retrieve them, since he said he was 'with people' 24/7 after the murders. I hope the jurors are smart and don't fall for what the Defense is putting on. They are a bunch of clowns!

Hey this is gruesome, I am sure he will leave with this for the rest of his life, seeing his child's brain scattered around? The murderer being himself? Almighty God have mercy.

Is this girl an attorney?? She’s embarrassing.

If he would have just admitted to stealing the money he would have been sentence to some years in prison and gotten out and still had a family

This is all just strange as heck. If someone did this to my wife and son I wouldn't give a shiz about what anyone accused me of I would be going nuts trying to find the people that did this. Nothing else would matter to me. This guy is as guilty as heck. his son reminded me of a demon I don't know anything about this case other than what I know about his son that killed the girl in the boat. He must have been a mommy boy and the dad wanted them gone for some reason. Mark my words this guy is as guilty as sin.

This is gruesome O MY LORD🥺

AM is such an Actor! everytime they mention the murder and graphic details of the murder, he cries! Give me a break!

I personally have NO empathy,sympathy for ANY of the Murdaugh clan! I feel as though his wife Maggie,knew what he was doing the whole time. She had to of known what he did to the housekeeper Gloria's family,because THEIR homeowners insurance was sued for Gloria's death. That WHOLE clan were just just wealthy,arrogant,self serving assholes!

so his brain came out of his shoulder?! give me a break!

My heart breaks for Paul and his mom. My prayer is that Paul and his mom are together in heaven. My prayers to both the families. Justice has been served in this case and it will again when God returns.

Gotta hand it to Alex for avenging that innocent boat passenger girl's demise.

he looks positively disgusted as they describe Paul’s injuries

The tired obligatory question 'were you paid for your testimony' is a hoot. EVERYONE is freak'n PAID for being there minus the defendant(s) and the prosecuting team and their 'experts'...until the final verdicts/sentencing lottery.

Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the cranium...

This female lawyer should let the other lawyers do the talking…her questions were already answered in depth…I cringed when I watched her…

Is that cardboard covering Alex’s monitor? What would be the reason for that?

When you look at AM and all that head bobbing and shoulder shrugging nonsense, you can just hear his mind saying, "this is where I show grief, upset and tearlessly crying." Have you ever seen such staged theatrics????

9:56 Too bad he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award -- He'd probably win the Oscar.

Yeah he had to cover the screen before he didn't wanna see tge damage that he did to them

He seemed upset hearing Pauls injury but not Maggies...?

Lawyers can be like news reporters...aimlessly asking ridiculous questions about subjects that they know nothing about. "The facts, M'am. Just the facts." --Jack Webb on Dragnet

I wasn’t sure if she was going to cross examine this man, throw down a rendition of Beautiful People, or begin waving a Ringling Bros. banner.

Alex, the unraveling of the episodes...... The matter of the century, the only mind that traverse the uncharted waters and territories!!

thanks

I wish they’ll show the pictures

Yes, you did it Alex murdaugh. . . Is that finally why you look so sad and deflated finally?

I would be crying for my boy knowing how he left this earth! Not shaking like I have Alzheimer’s 😬🙄

A top contact shot from a shotgun wil obliterate the brain, not eject it almost intact

He was angry at Paul for basically pulling the string that unwound the entire sweater. The added indignation of his wife and Paul working together to show him up over his drug use would have triggered him. The fact they said Maggie was looking into divorce....he prob would have said to himself , "after all I've done for them...giving them a lavish lifestyle'". In his mind, he would have thought he stole for them also. The way Tony soprano provided for his family. So he would have been pissed at all that. He lashed out.

So this professional just drew a bunch of little circles on a piece of white paper… Yeah OK.
